SOME EARLY NEWS
PAPER HISTORY
Information as to some of the his
tory of the early newspapers of Cass
county has just reached the Journal
which corrects data that has been
placed in some of the histories of the
county regarding the founding of the
Weeping Water Republican, which
paper shares with the Journal the
distinction of being the oldest estab
lished newspapers in Cass county
and among the oldest in the state.
It has been given in a number of
the accounts of Cass county history
that the Republican was established
by the late Elder George W. May
field, veteran newspaperman and the
father of the well known Mayfield
brothers, all of whom, with one ex
ception, have followed the printing
game. This, however, seems to have
been somewhat of a mistake accord
ing to the information that has been
supplied the Journal from those who
are familiar with the foundation of
the Republican
The Weeping Water Republican
was established in the spring of 1882
by W. A. and J. K. Keithley, when

I that locality, at the Johnson farm
home a quarter of a mile southeast
of Weeping Water.
The tragedy occurred shortly be
fore the noon hour and was occasion
ed while Mr. Johnson, his young
brother-in-law, William Baker, aged
15, and S. Ray Smith were engaged
in shooting at cans at the home of
Mr. Johnson.
The three young men were shoot
ing at cans that were being tossed
up by the trio and who were alter
nating in the target practice. At the
time of the fatal shooting. Mr. John
son was engaged in tossing up cans.
(while S. Ray Smith was shooting at
'them.
At the time, Mr. Smith had his
gun jam and refuse to fire and it
was while he was attempting to get
the gun back into firing condition
that it was suddenly discharged and
the full charge of shot struck Mr.
Johnson, who was standing some
fifty feet away.
The death of Mr. Johnson was a
matter of a few seconds, one of the
shot having pierced his heart and
caused almost instant death, while
another of the shot severed the jug
ular vein while others of the shot
tore and lacerated his shoulder and
arm very badly, so much so that ere
the companions could reach his side,
he had passed away.
As soon as medical aid was secured
Dr. M. U. Thomas making the call,
a message was sent to this city noti
fying County Attorney W G. Kieck
of the tragedy, 'and who with Sheriff
Stewart hastened to the scene of the
shooting and conducted an inquest
into the shooting. The Jury impan
eled consisted of W. Earl Towle.
Henry N. Mogensen. A. D. Kagley.
J. M. Teegarden, J. J. Meier and Bert
Reed. The jury received the testi
mony of Mr. Smith', young Baker and
Dr. Thomas as. to the facts in the
case and returned' with a verdict that
the shooting wfts purely accidental,
and that blame for the shooting at
tached to no one.
The death of the young man comes
as a great and terrible shock to his
family and the host of friends in his
childhood home, as he was born on
the farm of his father, Chris Johnson,
near Weeping "Water 23 years ago
and has lived in that community all
of his life. He was educated in the
schools there and last June was mar
ried to Miss Freda Baker, they lo
cating on the farm southeast of
Weeping Water, where the fatal ac
cident' occurred yesterday. He is sur
vived by the young wife, who is very
deeply affected by the tragedy, as
well as the father, Chris Johnson,
and one brother, Lawrence Johnson,
who also lives In the vicinity of
Weeping Water.
The tragedy has come as a very
great shock to Mr. Smith, a former
resident of Plattsmouth, who has
been at Weeping Water for the past
few weeks visiting with the relatives
of Mrs. Smith, but in the shooting
Mr. Smith was entirely blameless, as
he was powerless to prevent the ac
cidental shooting and the tragedy has
made an uneraseable trace upon his
mind.
The friends of the Johnson family
over the county were greatly shock
ed by the death of the young man
and In their bereavement the family
has the most sincere sympathy of the
friends.
the town Unadilla. moved his plant
to the new location and with his
brother, J. K. Keithley, started the
publication of the new paper and
which has now been in existence for
the past forty-four years. The part
nership of the two brothers continued
for two years and then J. K. Keithley
purchased the interest of his brother
and conducted the paper for a period
of twenty years, as publisher and
editor, later selling his interests and
removing to Syracuse where he pur
chased the Syracuse Journal.

Milk With School Lunches.
One teacher in the west end of the
state says her school lunch room
looks more like a dairy than an ord
inary lunch room, for her children
are bringing milk with them as a part
of their noon lunches. The under
weight children are climbing up to
the average and all the husky, ro
bust one are growing right along at
the regular rate. Weighing and
measuring of children started the
milk diet at this school. A bottle of
milk slipped into the youngster's
book sack each morning will make
the noon lunch more palatable and
nourishing.
Material for School Lunches.
Teachers who are interested in
school lunches write us and we will
send material on same.
A Good Cob Box.
When cobs are used as fuel, a good
cob box lined with zinc or tin on the
bottom to prevent the sifting out of
dust will save much sweeping and
also help make the kitchen more at
tractive. Casters on the bottom and
handles on the ends of the box will
make it easy to move for refilling and
for cleaning the kitchen. A lining
of asbestos on the side nearest the
stove will prevent the spread of fire.
A coat of paint and enamel or wall
paper like that used in the kitchen
will give it an attractive appearance.

ENJOY HALLOWE'EN PARTY
From Monday's Daily
Saturday evening a number of
young ladies of the city enjoyed a
very pleasant and delightful Hal
lowe'en party which was staged at
the old Halderman home on North
) 5th street, which has been unoccu
pied for the past year and which
served as a real "spooky" setting for
the Hallowe'en gathering.
The rooms were arranged in colors
of the season and with many special
features afforded by the empty house
jmade it most appropriate to the time
and event.
I As midnight approached ghostly
. figures appeared and marched thru
the house and this unlooked for fea
ture of the evening gave added thrill
to the members of the party and
furnished the proper atmosphere for
the Hallowe'en season.
The large fireplace in the former
living rooms of the house was utiliz
ed for the roasting of wenies and
other dainties and added very much
to the enjoyment of all of the mem
bers of the jolly party.
It was a late hour when the six
teen members of the party departed
for their homes feeling that the oc
casion had been a real treat in the
wav of a Hallowe'en entertainment.

Poultry House Litter.
Choppedor shredded corn or sor
ghum fodders made ideal litter for
the poultry house during the winter
iT'ontbs. suggests Extension Circular
1419, Farm Poultry Houses, of the
Agricultural College at Lincoln.
These materials do not break up as
quickly as straw. The floor should
be well covered at all times and the
house cleaned several times during
the winter.
A slope of about five inches in
twenty feet of hard surface floor will
tend to keep the hens from piling the
litter up in the back of the house.
Windows near the floor at the back
of the house will do the same thing,
since a hen generally faces the light
when she scratches.
